Looking at buying a 90 lx foxbody as a project. Trying to decide if its worth the money.


Being an lx, will there be any suspension issues that will come? Since its already worn out is a gt suspension easy/cheap swap? Goal for the car is just a weekend cruisier/sleeper more or less.


Car needs headliner, has blue smoke on startup and low speeds, door handle, starter over heats b/c headers are too close, suspension is worn out, sun roof, leaks, driver seat is worn out. But, has a HO 5.0 with headers and 5 speed with diff gears in rear guy didn't know what. He known they were swapped out b/c gasket sealer was present and seedo is off by 25 mph.


Guy is asking 1k. Trying to decide if it would make a good project. Hoping to overhaul motor, toss in cam and add some heads and few other bolt ons. Depending on how that feels thinking maybe some nitrous.

Let me know what you guys think.

Thanks in advance! I'm new, go easy on me. Over the last year I've got into sport cars I've always been into 4x4's before. I sold my 99 trans am ls-1/6 speed b/c got sick of payments but miss it everyday. I've always been a ford man so would prefer to stick with whats been good to me.

Well, the car runs and drives. Guys been driving it for a few months. I was looking to spend 1500 or less for a running foxbody.

If you add another grand to that you can probably get something better, the trick is to be patient.

Guy bought the car with 5.0 in. I believe he got it in a trade. He's been daily driving it for a few months so didn't think it was that bad?The 5.0 is a HO motor. Motor holds 55 to 60 oil psi contantly. Interior is in pretty good shape for the year. Paint isn't an issue b/c I've been wanting to paint a car. With the hard work out of way all I got to do is pull motor and freshen it up and its good to go. I'm not looking for a total project. Just wanting to do some motor work. I'm looking to get around 350 hp range. I thought 1k obo was a nice price. The car is not local only seen in pics. Figured some header wrap would cure starter issue. Door handle and headliner don't need fixed anytime soon. Just give the car a tune up and look into smoke issue. He said motor makes no noise. No ticking, knocking, or anything of the sort. I'm trying to get it for 800. I've always been a ford fan. I' loved my t/a but you can't find then for 1k haha.

DK about the links?

If the interior is nice and body has no rust its worth it. Gt suspension is the same as 5.0 LX
